    the first looks even more like a passion flower now, tendrils can be seen

    Veronica 'Georgia Blue' I think

    I don't know the yellow one

    Yes a hypericum

    26 might be Echinops

    27 can't see well enough

    28 a weed

    31 Iris foetidissima

    32 could be a garden geum but is more likely Geum urbanum, wood avens a sticky seeded weed

    It might be a passion flower, I think I remember seeing an orange fruit on the ground under it when I moved here in December. Will have to wait and see when it blooms. Thanks again, nutcutlet.

    Agree with nut for most of those.

    26 could be an oriental (perennial) poppy

    29 looks like perennial sweet pea

    Wait until 32 flowers - if small and yellow, dig up and dump immediately as wood avens is not something you want in most gardens.  Can't ID the others.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • 23 is Santolina 'Lemon Fizz'

    27, 28 definitely weeds, 26 looks like it could possibly be something--either poppy as nutcutlet says, or I thought perhaps a Centaurea, though on balance I think it's a weed

    Agree with Bob that 29 is perennial sweet pea, Lathyrus latifolius

    30 could be a dwarf conifer--hard to tell without full picture and scale

    For the rest I agree with everything nutcutlet and Bob have said

    I still vote for echinops for 26image

    30 looks as though it's about to flower. That will help

  • It could be nutcutlet, couldn't it? I find the weird tangle of stems in front a bit confusing and also, it seems to be close to a tree trunk, which is an odd place to put one. I suspect it of being a plant whose name I never did find out, which I cultivated excitedly for an entire growing season and which turned out to be a weed...

    Do those look like flower buds to you then? I thought they looked more like leaf buds.

    Isn't it exciting, vicarious gardening...

    Keeps the finger nails clean Cambridgeroseimage 

    echinops seed around here, I have one that comes out at 45degrees from under a viburnum.

    The dead bit of the ?conifer looks like dead conifer. but they look like flower buds to me. I don't think it's a plant I know whatever it is.

    26. is definitely Echinops.

    27. might be something called burnett.

    28. I think its wild garlic.

    29. Think that might be a perennial sweet pea.

    30. Looks like gorse family.

    31. Iris

    32. wild Geum, tiny yellow flowers.

    could do with another pic of 27, the stem is furry. Wild garlic as in Alliaria petiolata? I don't think that has hairy stems. I think it is a weed, horehound or relative maybe.

    28 could be nipplewort. or a relative

    Thanks again everyone. GardenMaiden, if I crush a leaf of the wild garlic (28) would it smell like garlic? It's easy to check then. I hope it's Echinops, I would like that (though I do love poppies as well). 30 is definitely about to bloom, so I will post some pictures when it happens, if anyone wants to see. 

    'Lemon Fizz' is such an appropriate name; it must be it. I'm happy about the perennial sweet pea. Will have to check how to care for it; I suspect it requires some sort of support.
